The Event class has various special class (static) variables defined including
-
Event.F1 -- the F1 key
-
Event.UP The Up arrow etc.
|
|
The Component class (grandparent of Applet) has a rich set of Event handlers which you should override if you wish to process particular input
|
public boolean mouseDown(Event evt, int x, int y) {
-
anchor = new Point(x,y); // record position of mouse click
-
return true; // must do this
-
}
|
|
Other handlers are mouseDrag, mouseEnter (enters current component), mouseExit, mouseMove (with its button up), keyUp, keyDown
